My strength is not in steel and fire, that is what the parasites will never understand. A season for all things! A time to live and a time to die, a time to build... and a time to destroy!”

I have a reputation. I will own it by making "Nobody trusts me" my motto this election. It's a motto of empowerment, of ownership, of honesty, of independence. But most of all, it's a motto of victory.

VPP: Darmanitan @ Level 100: 3,132NOTE: It's just a game in PokéTrivia. While you're at it, why not try coming in here to post?

If you haven't sent in your platform, please do so before Sunday, Sept. 10, 2017, 12:00NN GMT+8, as if you fail to do that, you are deemed an invalid candidate and forcibly removed from the election for failure to follow the election rules and deadlines.

As for candidates in a party, reiterating that your platform should NOT differ from the platforms of your other party mates. That means, down to the CSS, font colors, font styles, alignment, and content, all of them must be the same. The only difference should be the individual promises you would make if you are elected at the end of the post. Failure to follow this rule would result in a 20% reduction in your votes for the first voting phase you will be in.

Now, the voting public can vote for their favorite platform this phase. They can vote a platform for each position. They must vote using [VOTE position] Name of Candidate if they want to cast their initial vote. The candidates with the highest number of votes in this phase would get a 20% addition to their votes in their first voting phase. If the voting public does not vote for anyone, I as the UGEC Commissioner would be the one to choose, 1 for the whole party, and 1 independent candidate. Candidates, you may urge the public to vote for your platform or not. You only have until Sunday, same deadline, to do this.

Motto

"No bull****!"

Logo

It's ya boi Guzma!!! And this bald dude with the sweetest right hook I've seen in my entire life. I'm the big bad boss that beats the competition down and never lets up. This little election thingy caught my eye, so I thought I'd team up with the toughest-lookin' bad-ass out there and show you wimps how it's done. I've started by tactically waiting until everyone else finished their campaign slogans, so that mine is the more memorable, and I have my pick of the litter for CSS to steal. Pretty smart, huh? Anyways, we're Team Shiny Skull, and we're the team that's all about cutting out the bull****.

Candidates

Platform

Choose me, and:

I'm not going to make fake promises....to tell you the truth I'll probably spend all my time watching anime. All i can do is to listen what problems you guys have regarding mafia games and your sex life and try my best to solve them. I'll follow my president to depth of hell.

And at my running mate's request: free hair transplants. This was suppose to be a suprise man (-__-)

On that note, I would like to make an update to the name listed in my profile, if our lovely UGEC Commissioner would allow it

Name: Commander Superjolt (also known as Commander Bisharp or the Soldier With the Metal Fists)Motto: "A well defended nation is a STRONG NATION"Logo:

Platform:

As president, I promise to do the following:

- I promise to build up an army to defend this nation. I see other candidates promising that they'll protect you, but I can tell you those fools don't know the FIRST DAMN THING about how to protect this nation! They've never been in a WAR. They haven't seen what I'VE seen! Have they seen a fellow soldier blow up a fake rocket launcher in his own face? I DON'T THINK SO. The other nations will see us as WEAK. So I will provide an army, but not just any army. I will build a ROBOT ARMY. An army programmed to defend us. No one will be forced or pressed into service! Just leave protection duties to the robots! Of course, if anyone still wishes to enlist and serve, they will receive the best military training, FREE OF CHARGE. I wish only to defend our nation, not act aggressively toward other nations. I will do my best to keep talks peaceful with other nations, but if things do come to WAR... WE WILL KICK ASS AND WE WILL NOT LOSE

- I'm sure all of you are also sick of getting mislynched by your fellow townsfolk, and that you're all sick of your friends and neighbors turning up dead. I promise to let as few innocents as possible get lynched, and that we get rid of as many of those gog awful Mafia as we can! Some other candidates wish to try and "understand" the Mafia and come to peace with them or something. Well they are are full of BULL****. Those ****ers speak the language of MURDER, and I can "understand" them JUST FINE

The Underground Republic (UGR) has finished its party forming phase! There are 4 parties running in this season's elections.

One of the factions formed is the wholesome Hardwork Overcomes Problems Everywhere - Watchog, Ishimaru, and Nicki's Squad (HOPE WINS) party, which consists of Presidential Candidate Kiyotaka Ishimaru, Vice Presidential Candidate Nicki, and Secretarial Candidate Watchog. Their aim is to bring a better future for all, mafia, innocent, or third party alike.

Another is the meme-driven National Triggering Party (NTP) which consists of Presidential Candidate Trigglypuff, Vice Presidential Candidate Abby McDabby, and Secretarial Candidate Jeb Bush. Their objective is to bring peace through outrage.

The third party formed is the Rapture party, with Presidential Candidate Andrew Ryan, Vice Presidential Candidate Rare Pepe, and Secretarial Candidate Phoenix Wright as the core members of the faction. Their aim is to build a city within the UGR that has a set of ideals and values.

The last faction formed is a two-member party known as Team Shiny Skull (TSS), with Presidential Candidate Guzma, and Vice Presidential Candidate One Punch Man as the members. They have no general aim, however they can get their jobs done right.

Aside from the 4 parties, there are also 3 candidates that decided to run as independents. First off is Presidential Candidate Commander Superjolt, who wishes to build a strong UGR. Another is Secretarial Candidate Taylor Swift, who wishes to own the UGR and replace the snail motif with snakes, and Secretarial Candidate Spark, who aims to bring new programs in the UGR.

According to Salzorrah, the UGEC Head, polls have shown that the HOPE WINS party has initial support from the public, and Independent Secretarial Candidate Taylor Swift has the most support among the independents. It seems they would be getting a bump in their votes in their first voting phases.

It's time for the campaigning phase for the first Secretarial preliminaries. Question is, who's going to the end, and who's gonna meet it soon?

CAMPAIGNING PHASE

For this phase, you must send in your save vote, and if you wish, a favor action.

Save votes is a mechanic that would spice the election up a bit. Each party and independent candidate must send me who they wish to save. You may only save people that are up for vote in the next phase. If you are in a party, you may not vote for your own party member. The person who gets the most save votes gets saved in the next voting phase. If they end up at last place in the polls, they will be saved, and the next person who got the least amount of votes is forced to drop out. The result of the save vote will be revealed at the end of the voting phase. The save vote is mandatory. Failure to send this will incur a 30% reduction of votes in your next voting phase, and everyone in the save list getting an extra save vote.

Apart from the save vote are favor actions. They can only be used once per campaigning phase. For parties, the favor action list is found in the OP, and it is a shared action list. Independents get an enhanced favor action list, which is given to them through PM. Anarchists get a different favor action list, that was given to them at the start of the election season. You are not mandated to use your favor actions, but it is highly suggested you use them. Please state if you are not using your favor action for the phase.

The campaigning phase ends when all of the save votes and favor actions are sent.

Lastly, you may chat in the thread while the campaigning phase is ongoing.

That is all for now, good luck candidates, and let the campaigning begin!

SECRETARIAL PRELIMINARIES

These candidates are up for voting in the next phase. You may only choose among these candidates for your save votes and favor actions.

RULES
